SuperCaterinaThis one is just plain fun. We're excited to see the entire cast assembled in a style that really works on its own. Choosing the top places was extremely difficult, since there were several contenders for the top four. Over time this image continued to grow on us. Maybe it's the clear understanding of the characters personalities... or because it's looks dangerous and cute at the same time.

OKAY NOW IT'S TIME, FOR THE TOP THREE ENTRIES ~ !!! THIRD, SECOND AND FIRST PLACE!

Third place winner, who will receive download codes for WayForward's entire digital download catalog, and a WayForward T-Shirt is ....

haven9270This image really captures the feel of Anime around the time we were pitching the original Super Nintendo game. The razor thin line work, wild 80's hair and barely there tank tops feel authentic for the time. Uncle Mimic even gets to play the role of Dr. Wily. There was a version sumitted after the deadline with more highlights, but we prefer the flat cell paint version anyway.

Lovely second place winner, who will receive 1 custom Shantae themed Nintendo 3DS system, and a WayForward T-Shirt ... is ~ !!

MEGAmorrisonThis drawing is loose and also solid, just as you'd expect from a traditionally animated key pose. The proportions would work well for a HD game sprite, and this first time interpretation of the costume was great to see.

1127066We felt that this image captured the personality of Shantae wonderfully. It really makes us smile every time every time we look at it, and that's why this image could not be denied the number one spot! Shantae summarized in one word: playful!

i wanted to do some changes and for the lol's since i Know i'm not gonna win, but dang it, im going down swinging, also i rarely see an Bolo fan art, and that simply WON'T DO, so *clap*

Before you venture on through the Beautiful artwork that puts even my great skills to shame, i have to say they all contain one specifc thing...

is there a limit to how many we can submit or is it just one link then judge, because i got two i made in wiiu art academy "sketchbook" and am working on another sketch codenamed "wonder genie" screw it just say these two are free gifts to make this thread more colorful.

the colored one kept appearing sideways so ill just use my DA one.
hey anderb, edit, then click the link next to the red box that says "image and use your download link image from DA to have it display!
